This is h e migration period and from now until the close of August, the fight must he kept up as*strong as it has been since cotton firs sprou Reinforcement of ammunition and ah Die P«-»' r. v possess must be injected into the fight to whip the weevil. Poisoning and picking up .squares must be kept up until every boll of cotton is open _ and the fleecy locks laid bare to the hand of the picker. I he fight has not been won: it is only commenced in real earnest and the man who steps aside with the belief that his cotton crop is made and beyond the danger of the enemy is mistaken and instead of reaping a bale to the acre he will do well to get one tenth part. T h o boll weevil is as treacherous as and Indian and while we are idly-passing him over he, is doing his deadliest work. It is a hard figSit ; wc can win but it will require work both tlay and . night. With continued rains the rest of the month, boll weevil will grow and multiply as fast as tlies in .a syrup barrel. It is plain talk but the time is . here when there should be no mincing of words m * giving the alarm of danger which surrounds every farm in the cotton belt states. An army of boil weevils can be corraled over nght and their inva sion on a cotton licit! will lay bear every boll inside ot twenty four hours. It is an unusual condition: bright prospects for a good crop of cotton, and yet without a vigilant campaign against the weevil, the ' ‘ crop will be lost and less cotton per acre, than last year will be the result. ,, i ‘Keep courage and do not grow over-confident. 1 To'o much confidence will lose the fig h t and give the victory to the boll weevil. The weevil can be i' Whipped, but it will require all the determination nri3 will-power there is in ns to fight successfully ,, agpinst his ravages. In three weeks the fight will be it won or lost: which shall it be? The answer rest's ;hc cotton gi’ower. ATHENS MUST BUY BEFORE SHE CAN SELL ICs high time that business, especially the wholesale and retail business interests of the 'city, take to heart for a careful study, and for prompt Ui action the above text. Athens cannot remain a Mar- [£ ket unless Athens is prepared to BUY as well as SBLL. At the present time, we should say that Ath- K ; ens is better prepared to sell than to buy and that vnfor ears past with the exception of tho cotton crop, Athens hBS not been interested in the buying of oth- rr-farm products, but has concentrated her atten tion upon selling to the farmers in its trade territory. - But with less cotton being raised and gradually a surplus of other crops being raised on the farms, thd nearby trade territory naturally looks to. Athens as_a market for these other crops. The big question i of ([permanent, mutual prosperity, both for the farms I and for the city lies hound tip in the proper handling of-this condition. Athens must provide a toady cafih market for all the corn, oats, peas, hay, velvet beans, peanuts, hog-, cattle, poultry, milk, butter, eggs, etc., that the trade territory around Athens can produce and get to market properly prepared. ’ WITHOUT DOUBT OR QUESTION, THIS IS Georgia, but the review of Alabama, an adjoining mate, does not place thla stato upon such high plane.

V With ess and less Co'ton being raised, the need * of-every farm is for a cash money crop or crops, This need can be mot when the business interests of ■ Athens are prepared to say to every farmer in this trade territory: “We are ready to pay you cash and iat the fair market price, for every bushel of corn, ,oats, peas, velvet beans, arid for every’pound of hay, (peanuts, butter, etc., that you can produce and put into Athens in marketable condition.” Already Ath ena provides a market for many of these commodi ties.

Other towns and communities are going ahead th this work on which not only the salvation of fcuiffarming interests but tho preservation of the pros perity of the towns themselves depend. Athens can- «otTlonger depend upon cotton alone for its cotpmer- ■B prosperity any more than the farms in this sec- 'tioh can depend upon cotton alone.
